The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Should you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel work's Mercedes SL-Class in Alnham. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country road on the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only just got it several days ago when my old one, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Northumberland woman!

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt delighted the next day as I set off to help a new couple on holiday in Alnham. They had stopped after filling petrol in their new-shape Ford Club Wagon, and they were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens constantly in Northumberland and that it's truly nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

A young lady from Alnham with a full car of youngsters in her diesel compact Ford Fiesta had put £20 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
